Michelle Obama to Floridians: 'Don't let anybody push you out of line'
By NBC's Jamie Novogrod


,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Almost 4.5 million people in Florida have already cast ballots, taking advantage of early and absentee voting opportunities here. The latest data from the Florida Secretary of State's office shows that Democrats have cast 1,915,630 votes – giving them a lead against Republicans, who have cast 1,747,977 votes.

But Michelle Obama warned that the president needs every vote he can get.

"Don't let anybody push you out of line," the first lady said, telling those who haven't voted yet to get to the polls early. "Don't let any delays deter you."

Michelle Obama was scheduled to appear later Monday with her husband in Des Moines, Iowa.

I can't think of a single instance where President Obama has ever represented us with anything but dignity on the world stage.

Unlike (fill in the blank)

He's smart, articulate, and I think, possesses a moral compass. Unlike (fill in the blank).

His wife is beautiful beyond the obvious physical, and so are their daughters. (I really admire how they've managed to keep them out of the spotlight and tried to give them as normal an upbringing as possible in this nutty day and age.)

Love-love-love.

and challenging their right to vote, accusing them of being felons and making them cast provisional ballots. They have their own data bases and are using them on site at the polling places. I may be wrong on the some of facts here but this is heinous.

I'm glad MsgoclarkOBAMA was not in that location! Nobody would even attempt to mess with my chance to vote for My President!

Let me guess, there were no punishments for these TTbags - right?
